The Fieseler Storch was the last dogfight victim of the
western front in the Second World War to be shot down by an American aircraft.
Whilst circling on a reconnaissance mission, it was spotted by a L4 Grasshopper
(Piper Cub) looking for ground targets. The Cub's crew opened fire with
their hand pistols on the Storch and it spiralled to a safe landing on the
ground. Apart from being the last Luftwaffe aeroplane lost in the war, the
Storch was also the only enemy aeroplane downed by pistol fire during the war.
Historic Aircraft Collection are pleased to announce that with their Fieseler
Storch and Glenn Denney's Piper Cub, they are in a position to offer this
re-enactment for air displays, events and other promotional activities
